From the Organizer
The Moving Mountains 5K for Adoption is Sunday, November 1, at 11:30am at Aberdeen Elementary School. 100 percent of race profits go to the Faithful Bible Church Adoption and Orphan Care Fund.
The Faithful Bible Church Adoption and Orphan Care Fund supplies grants and scholarships for adopting families and the precious children they bring home. Since our first Moving Mountains 5K in 2022, Faithful Bible Church has given away $32,098 in adoption and foster care grants, helping bring five children home and serving four others through medical and foster care assistance. Our goal is to raise $25,000 this year. Your support of this race literally changes and transforms lives.
Registration for the Moving Mountains 5K is totally FREE! (You will register all runners below.) This is a family-friendly course, and runners and walkers of all ages, as well as strollers and mobility devices, are welcome! Donations, t-shirt and sweatshirt sales (please purchase either as an add-on to your registration or in our attached store) and sponsorships (both corporate and sponsorships of individual runners) are the only means we use to raise money for this fund. YOUR DONATIONS ARE PRICELESS.
Registration closes October 30th. We will award prizes to the top male and female performers in multiple age categories.
Merchandise sales close on October 2nd. All t-shirts and hoodies can be picked up on Sunday, October 25, before or after church at Aberdeen Elementary School, or on the race day at the registration table.
To sponsor a runner, simply make a donation on this site. Make sure to list the runner in the "On Behalf Of" category of the donation page so that runner receives credit! We will have a grand prize for the runner who raises the most money in sponsorships!
Want to serve the cause but don't know a 5K participant? You may also donate directly to the Faithful Bible Church Adoption Fund on their website OR in person on race day.
Thank you so much for your support! We could not serve this cause so dear to our hearts without YOU.
